Transferring from CC and deciding on major - Help

I am going to be transferring with a 3.6 (I had a 3.9 but I tanked it this semester, unfortunate but what can ya do?)

I am applying to a few schools, 3 of them are Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University. Ideally I would like to either work in IB and then pivot into the startup space or VC, or just go into a startup right after college. With this being said:

I am deciding between a few majors. Do I apply to the business schools as a Finance major or General Management/Administration major? Or should I play it a bit safe and go with Econ since it's a bit easier to actually get accepted in the first place?

Thanks for the help.
